Gasket has distinct forms of the ‘I’ and ‘Y’. Conventional forms of these letters are also available as stylistic alternates.

The basic version of Gasket includes small caps. They are tall, designed for setting titles. “Drawing the uppercase was so much fun, I decided to do it twice,” joked Highsmith. He also recommended adding some extra tracking when setting words in all caps or small caps.

Who needs ascenders and descenders? Not Gasket Unicase.

However, if you are sick and tired of having to decide which case to use, try Gasket Unicase. This single-cased variation features extra-large lowercase forms, designed to work with the caps.

Gasket Uncial is another single-case variation with an even more distinctive flavor.

Highsmith also drew uncials—an unusual addition. These archaic cursive letterforms rarely find themselves in a contemporary sans serif series. The most famous example of uncial lettering is found in The Book of Kells, c. AD 800. However, the uncial script dates all the way back to the fourth century. Gasket Uncial updates these ancient forms for modern usage.
